Has anyone replaced a FWD axle on a 2009 Ford Edge?

I need to replace one because the tranny seal is leaking on the right side.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
You sure it's the axle? Ford has had many issues and revisions to the PTU seals on their vehicles and it's probably what is leaking. From videos I've seen it's pretty straightforward - take the axle out, replace the seal and put it back together.
 
I dont have an Edge but from what I can tell it's a straight-forward job to remove the axle shaft: remove the center axle nut, disconnect the ball joint. You might have enough clearance to remove the axle shaft without disconnecting the tie rod end. otherwise, disconnect the tie rod and/or strut. then replace the seal and re-install the axle shaft.
